What happened?

Site is back up

Jul 18th, 2011

Thanks to Kreskin for posting on the Facebook wall that the site was down, it's now back up. I haven't been on the site all day so I didn't know it was down. If it's down for more than a couple of hours, please contact me or post on the facebook wall.

How long was the site down?

I don't know.. I've been busy with other things for a little bit and nobody contacted me. I have no idea how long the site was down for. I was last online yesterday.

Either way, what happened was the web server just started hanging and was in that state for a long time. I now have a program monitoring it to restart it if that happens again.

I am not sure how long it was down exactly, but I checked the site earlier in the day here in Australia while at work at around 8:05am and just noticed it was back up now @ 3:04pm (7 Hours or so)

And I don't have the forums on Facebook so I couldn't post there.

I tried to get on at 4am (BC) and just got on. So I would say about 17 hours.

I thought maybe someone kicked me off for some unknown reason it was down so long.

If we had kicked you off, we would have had the decency to let you know that we did so. LOL!

Nobody let me know why I was banned when I was banned..... and wasn't officially told why until I was un-banned.

What I mean is, you receive an automatic email notification that you have been banned. Or at least, you should have.

Zan messaged me with a good idea. To get a few regulars to get my contact info and notify me when the site is down for more than a couple of hours. Anyone interested please PM me and I'll forward you the details.

This time I was really away from the computer for a day and that's when we went down

That's always the way. You can watch it like a hawk for 364 days but the 365th is the one where all hell breaks loose.

Thanks for the info about facebook, never thought to look there when I couldn't get on yesterday. Had the same thoughts as DG for awhile. ............ it was almost like going through withdrawal when I couldn't get on.

Didn't bother me a bit, couldn't care less even if it ever started up again, but then again, I have a life.

I don't have an excuse. I'm not the one saying that being here is an indication that one has not got a life.
